Berbere Chicken
Bright and flavorful, this easy chicken dinner utilizes a warming Ethiopian spice blend for a meal that cooks quickly with tender and juicy results. You can use any spice blend you like in place of berbere. A Rogan Josh seasoning blend or curry powder is another spice blend with middle eastern flavors that works well here.
